COAL INDIA HIKES PRICES BY 12% FOR SELECT CONSUMERS - ECONOMIC TIMES


Economic Times reported that, Coal India has raised prices by an average 12% for some of its consumers from Sunday, boosting its revenue by 6,000 crore (US$ 1,325,087,194)  a year and helping the state-run firm meet rising costs at a time when output is stagnant in the face of inefficiency and environmental laws.

It has spared buyers in the power , fertiliser and defence sectors , which account for 80% of its sales, and raised prices for other buyers.

Price of premium grades of coal, A and B, has been linked to the international price and will now be offered at a 15% discount on the global spot prices. The benchmark price will be decided through a complex formula involving calorific value of the coal, as well as on the basis of Indonesian coal spot prices. Rest of the grade, C to F, will now be 30% dearer than the earlier notified price.

"The rise was inevitable since we have been severely affected by pollution norm introduced by the ministry of forest and environment. It is also expected to cover inflation, and rising wage and dearness allowance," chairman, Partha S Bhattacharyya said.

Earlier, CIL had said it would raise prices in July but the increase was necessary as growth in output has slowed down to 1-2% from 6% last year.

Coal India produces only about 20 million tones of grade A and B coal. Prior to the hike they were being offered at between 1,710 (US$ 37.76) and 2,370 (US$ 52.34) per tonne. If last week's international bench mark prices are taken, these two grades will now cost between 3,690 (US$ 81.50) per tonne and 4,100 (US$ 90.55) per tonne.

Grades C to F were available at prices ranging between 1,860 (US$ 41.08) and 480 (US$ 10.60) per tonne depending on the grades and the mines. These will now cost between 2,418 (US$ 53.40) per tonne and 624 (US$ 13.78) per tonne.

" Power, fertiliser and defense has been left out of the hike to reduce its effect of inflation. These three sectors consume around 80% of CIL's coal. The rest goes to non regulated sector, where the end price is not regulated by any sector," a CIL official said.

" Coal prices for grades A & B will now be reviewed after a year. However, we need to take periodic review of the prices of the rest of the categories," he added. (1 INR = 0.0220872 USD -
